26、Of all the world’s languages,English probably has the widest range of dictionaries.【1】This article looks at some of the ways to help you find the right one.
Number of words
【2】The smaller dictionaries need to be particularly careful about deciding what words to include.Typically,desk dictionaries include 100,000 to 180,000 words and unabridged(未删减版)dictionaries include more than 265,000 words.
Order of meanings
In different dictionaries,meanings of the same word may not be presented in the same order.This is a difference that matters a great deal to users.【3】It is convenient to most users.Dictionaries on historical rules,however,present the oldest meaning first.
Illustrative quotations(引语)
To show how a particular word is used,most dictionaries include example sentences.Some dictionaries use made-up sentences,which are made by the editors of the dictionary on purpose to explain a word.【4】.
Illustrations
Sometimes it is easier to explain the meaning of a word using an illustration than using words alone.This is when you need visual dictionaries(图解词典).【5】Each image and each part of an image is named to tell you what it is.
A.These dictionaries are collections of images.
B.We should make the best of every dictionary.
C.No dictionary can include every word that you may encounter.
D.Other dictionaries use sentences from published or recorded sources.
E.This wide range makes it difficult for students to choose among them.
F.In desk dictionaries,the order depends on how common each meaning is used.
G.The most commonly used dictionary is Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary.
27、Smartphones are perhaps one of the things we like most or least. While they create a shared and communicative digital(数字的) experience,their use also greatly reduces the amount of direct communication we have. So, while we feel closer than ever through smartphones,research shows that we’re actually lonelier than ever.
We see this situation most commonly among the youth who were born into the digital age. Phones have increased the level of isolation (孤立). Janet Behrens, principal of Iowa Valley Junior-Senior High School, noticed it in the lunchroom, where students had their heads down looking at their phones and had little conversation with each other.
Then, she created a lunchroom policy, which requires all students to leave their phones behind during Friday lunches and sit at a table with students they may not know. During Friday lunches, kids pick a card that shows which lunch table they will be sitting at that day. Each table provides ideas for conversation starters. in case students have trouble thinking of things to talk about with kids they might not know
Anyone who knows teens knows that they are likely to refuse to follow this kind of forced socialization(合群). So they may not quickly agree with such an idea. However, the new program is different. After taking a few weeks to get used to the new program, kids are kinder to each other and they actually look forward to Friday lunch hour. Sahara Kanke, a ninth grader, said, “I think it’s fun I was a bit confused when I first knew the program. But I like doing it now. People are nicer to each other now because they got to know each other at lunch”
Policies like this are important. ABC News reported that students who use phones and computers less during class scored half a grade higher than students with smartphones. Due to the advantages of reducing smartphone use among the youth, schools around the world have been testing different methods to help students overcome the difficulties
【1】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Students’ dislike of school food.
B.Students’ loneliness brought by smartphones
C.Students’ refusing to follow some school rules
D.Students’ making new friends through the Internet
【2】What can we learn about the new policy?
A.It aims to get students to share their problems
B.It can improve students’ problem-solving ability
C.It calls on students to stop chatting online at school
D.It encourages face-to-face communication among students
【3】What does Paragraph 4 suggest?
A.It is pretty difficult to get along with teenagers
B.It is challenging to carry out the new program in school
C.The new program has drawn students closer to each other
D.Young students were glad to join the program at the beginning
28、 You' re rushing to work and a man ahead of you suddenly falls down. Do you stop to help? In a study of bystanders, it was found that some people look away or keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.
“There is an inclination(倾向) to decide that no action is needed," says Ervin Staub, a psychologist(心理学家) at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who studies the role of bystanders.“The first thoughts that come into your mind often keep you from offering help."
Time and again, good and caring people fail to come to the aid of others. They know they should act and yet, for reasons they themselves don't understand, people sometimes don't respond. Longtime researchers of bystander behavior continue to struggle with the question,“Why?"
One thing we do know is that the more ambiguous a situation is, the less likely people are to help. Let's say you see vapors(水汽) coming out of a building. You ask yourself,“Is it steam or smoke?" If you are not sure, you look to other people for a clue about how to react.If you see other people doing nothing, you think,“Of course, that's just team." You don't want it to be smoke, because then you would have to do something about it.
Another one is known as“the bystander effect": This says that the more people there are observing an emergency(突发事件),the less responsible each one of them personally feels. For example, if you are the only person in the world who can act to save someone in a dangerous situation, you are more likely to act. However, if you are one of 100,000 people who could save the situation, you would be happier if one of the other 99,999 people did it!
"If you notice trouble, force yourself to stop and judge the situation instead of walking on," says Ervin Staub. Then try to involve other people; you don't have to take on all the responsibility of being helpful According to Staub, it is sometimes just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying,“It looks like we should do something," Once you take action, most people will take their cues(提示) from you and also help.
【1】According to Ervin Staub, when accidents happen, people's first thoughts______.
A.force them to give a hand B.prevent them from helping
C.often lead to embarrassment D.depend on others' reaction
【2】What does the underlined word“ambiguous" in paragraph 4 mean?
A.difficult B.dangerous C.unclear D.unpleasant
【3】The author uses“the bystander effect" to show that
A.many people have the same ideas
B.more people carry out more responsibility
C.people usually think a lot before difficulties
D.people tend to behave in the same way as most other people do
